Denchura.
Galvantula in Japanese. I much prefer that name to Galvantula, but that's just me.
I also like the French name for Growlithe; Lupe.
I was traded a French Growlithe by my friend and I loved it =]
Shiggy is the best the rest of this topic is redundant
well, Mysdibule is quite good
Mawile's French name.
unfortunately none of Chandelure's names are as good as its English one.
perhaps Syangdella comes close.
Nattorei > Ferrothorn
Shinboraa > Sigilyph
This is the best ever:
Eelektross's French name: Ohmassacre
Seriously, nothing can beat that.
The Chinese name for Charmander, Siu Fo Long (or 小火龍), which literally translates to 'Small Fire Dragon'.
It's quite cute when you say it ;;
Riolu > Rioreu
Riolu > Lì Ōu Lù
Zorua > Joroa
Zorua > Suǒluóyǎ / Suǒluóyà
Rotom > Motisma

I am sure there was something strange with the Spanish version, but I do not remember what. HOWEVER...

Aggron (Japanese) → ボスゴドラ, also read as BOSSGODORA. BOSS-GODORA.
Big fan of german (?) for larvesta, which is ignivor. Unless that was a nickname from wonder trade.

Ignivor is indeed Larvesta's german name.
Doublade's Korean name sounds.... awesome.
Ssangeomkil! It's really awesome if you say that name. Especially if you are a native Korean speaker.
EDIT: Any Korean Pokémon name is awesome.
Bulbasaur = Bulbizarre in French
I think all my favourites are French.
Beedrill = Dardargnan - it sounds like D'Artagnan.
Psyduck = Psykokwak
Golduck = Akwakwak
Gengar = Ectoplasma
Zapdos = Electhor
Duskull = Skelenox
Salamence = Drattak
Swoobat = Rhinolove
Klink = Tic
Klang = Clic
Klingklang = Cliticlic
I mean, really, France.

Swoobat = Rhinolove
It doesn't even look like a Rhino!
What were they thinking?
I can answer to this.
Rhino comes form Greek. ρινός (rinós), "nose". Look at its nose. It looks like a heart. Rhinolove. Nose of love.
Understood?
Nose of love?
As if Pokemon couldn't get any weirder!
I've always like Lillipup's Japanese name Yorterrie! I LOVE Yorkies!
Off the top of my head, Kleinstein (Geodude's German name) never ceases to amuse me. Judokrak (Throh's French name) sounds awesome, too.
I like Pikachu. What? It technically counts as a non-English name given it is the ORIGINAL Japanese name to begin with and one of the few Pokemon never to be known by any other name.
Grumpigs Korean name is literally "Kingpig", I found that funny xD
Karakara! Not just names - I really like how some foreign Pokemon sound in the anime. Karakara is just so much cuter ;^;
My favourite: Fushigidane - Bulbasaur (Means "Strange plant"); Poppo - Pidgey; Otachi - Sentret; Kimori, Ahamo, Mizugorou - Treeko, Torchic, Mudkip; Goronda - Pangoro;
The most creative :laugh: ones: Ghost - Haunter; Crab - Krabby; :laugh:
My favorite...
*snk*
Akwakwak...!
